Why the amount matters. A parent admitted for a heart problem typically spends a day or two in intensive care and several more on a ward. At visitor rates that can pass $30,000 before a single doctor's bill. That's why we suggest more than the $100,000 minimum for parents over 70 or with heart conditions.
Quick answer
Super Visa insurance for parents visiting Vaughan must give at least $100,000 of emergency coverage for health care, hospitalization and repatriation, valid one year from the date they enter Canada, from a Canadian or OSFI-authorized insurer. Prices don't depend on the city; on October 17, 2026, the same $100,000 policy for a 66-year-old ranged from $1,620.60 to $2,801.56 a year. Visitors aren't covered by provincial health care, so hospital bills in Vaughan go straight to the family.
